If I remember correctly, I got "hold your nose with one hand and bend your knees".
The dunkers didn't say anything profound.

Ending Of Suffering/Enlightenment/Nirvana Mind States Discussion
by Brokeback Watchtower ini put this under news and world events.
because i didn't know where else to put it.. anybody interested in this subject feel free to comment a sorta satsang if you will.. do you think it is possible for one to achieve a mind state free from fear and all other negative emotional states and reach a higher plane of mental processes in encumbering the brain of processing negative emotions.. i think insight can be gained by looking at this subject psychologically and if their is a way to this nirvana state take it.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/nirvana.

Yes, I believe it can. There is Evidence of Tibetan monks actually achieving a rainbow body, interestingly similar to the transfiguration of Jesus biblical account. It takes self discipline I could never completely practice driving in LOs Angeles. They must have only loving thoughts for at least 13 years straight or something like that. It's possible. Probable?

WT Wizard, how long would you need to supplement to decalcify your pineal?
Also, the reason people have bad trips, in addition to laced or bad drugs, is because they have negative personality stuff they need to heal first. Most esoteric cultures use shaman type guides to help them through the experience because if you don't know what you are doing you can really have a bad trip. Work on being a loving and forgiving positive-oriented person before trying those shortcut drugs.
I like WT Wizard's suggestion after studying the subject for a few years, I think I'll try that first. For anyone truly wanting to learn about the subject, there are lots of informational videos and experts that explain the best and safest way to expand your mind on Gaia tv. It's an inexpensive internet app and filled with endless learning on all sorts of fun topics including this one.

Maybe that's why they chose a Japanese appearing theme for the wife of Lot drama?

Another day, another cart
by Anony Mous ini was standing at a red light and i noticed the little cart standing there.
they're barely noticeable and when i continued there was apparently someone on the other side of the street too.
the only problem, the location is a very busy intersection which has virtually no foot traffic and they're hard to see to begin with, as you can see from my vantage point i couldn't even read the cart and three people next to them on this side and two of them on the other side.. .

Can't wait to see the number of hours in the preaching work next year 🙄 Shouldn't there be a separate catagory for construction work and bench warming?

I love the divergent comments best. They stretch my thinking and helps me self reflect. It's been super fun and healing hanging out here. Like some, I go off on tangents. Hoping I don't irritate others, but the political bashing charges me up at times. I don't enjoy name calling and our side is better then yours. I think everyone has a right to express their views, but appreciate the ones who express solutions and don't reflect divisive rhetoric. I don't know about you guys, but I've had enough of "the whole world who doesn't think like me deserves death".

Good advice from both! I understand the need to tell off the elders, but I'm so glad I didn't now several years later. -

i have posted several times in the past about the necessity of spreading the word about ttatt in the spanish speaking world.

As we are all trying to make sense of our life experiences, we all run the risk of of doing and saying things we look back and would change, especially with the hurt/anger/disappointment etc., from false hope and misplaced trust and wanting to liberate others from same. No need to apologize. The old motto - hindsight is 20/20. For me to judge you would be hypocritical. Good man for seeing yourself as you are and would like to be and making the appropriate changes.
It is encouraging you have reached a place of understanding what is most important to you. Hurray and very happy things are getting better in your family and life. Happy Shadows; nice knowing friends that have my back.
Best Wishes!
